SALIENT FEATURES OF 8051 MICROCONTROLLER

The 8051 microcontroller is a very popular 8-bit microcontroller introduced by Intel in the year 1981 and it has become almost the academic standard now a days.  The 8051 is based on an 8-bit CISC core with Harvard architecture. Its 8-bit architecture is optimized for control applications with extensive Boolean processing. It is available as a 40-pin DIP chip and works at +5 Volts DC. The salient features of 8051 controller are given below.
